Welcome !
This listing of Villisca (Iowa) High School graduates was originally
published in booklet form for the 100th Commencement of Villisca High
School which took place on May 22, 1983. Over 1,000 booklets were sold
and the money was used to purchase computer equipment for the school.
The first Commencement exercise for Villisca High School was held for
four students on May 29, 1884 at the Villisca Opera House. Over the
years, the smallest class was in 1887 with three students, and the
largest class was in 1970 with seventy-two students. The most recent
class, the Class of 2011, consisted of thirty students.
4,506 diplomas were awarded during the 128 Commencements celebrated
between 1884 and 2011. Commencements have been held at the Opera House,
the Rialto Theater, the Methodist Church, the Armory and the Villisca High School
Auditoriums.

Association minutes from 1884-1931, Villisca High School annuals,
